about what you look like at all. It's about making your voice as a
character."

is luck, as much as it is talent."

Girl on CSI: New York) "Oh my god, he'd have a heart
attack. When its fake I think he's okay with it."

John Winn Miller (Allison's father): "We're thrilled to see
Allison doing so well in such a short time in Hollywood, although
it is a little unnerving to keep seeing her playing an innocent

"(Young Actors Theater) taught me everything I know about
acting, up until I got to college," Miller said. "I think it gave
me not only a great theater experience but a strong work ethic.

efforts. A good performance left us all feeling accomplished."
